Mr, Cobbett, who sailed from
this port in the ship Hercules, with
the bones of Thotnas Paine, had
armfcd at Liverpool. His luggage
was taken from the vessel i tW
Custom hourfe to undergo the uscmt
inspection. When the last think
was opened, Cobbett oliserved to the
surrounding spectators, who * had
assembled in greal numbers, ? Here
are the bones of the late Thomas
Paine*" This declaration excited
a sudden and visible sensatiou, and
the crowd pressed forward to see the
contents of the package. Cobbett
remarked, that a Great indeett must
that man have .been, whose very'
bones attracted such attentlon."-^
The officer took out the coffin platey
inscriljed " Thomas Paine, ageil 7 %
died 8th June 1800, and having lift
ed up several of the bones, replaced
tlie whole, and passed them. They
have since been forwarded from this
I town to London) The captain of
the* llcicules, it is said, did net
r * '
kaoKT of Unit foeine on 1>o&rd his
vessel until be Arrived at Liverpool.
To Welcome his return to His native
couutry, a number of his |>olHical
friends io Liverpool, determined to
have a public meeting, and give
him a dinne^A Clayton Square was
the place fixed on to receivejiim, ?
The day appointed for the meeting
proved remarkably unfavorable.-?
The enow and sleet fell copiously un
til late m the evening, and fears
were entertained, by the impatient
crowd^who had assembled, that lie
would not make his appearance. ?
But at length their anxiety was re
lieved. A few minutes after half
fast seven, be entered the square
through Parker street. He came
in an open hackney coach, accom
panied by his son William, Mr.
Thos. Smith, & one ortwo other indi
viduals. He was received with ming
led hisses and applause. The vehi
cle drew up in the south west corner i
of tltfe square, tovferda which quar
ter there was-ji great rush. The ap
plauses anil hisses were continued
witjb great vehemence. Several
falsealaTms of danger were, in the"
course of the performance,* raised,
and it was truly fusing to see the
trepidation with which great numbers
Bed. from the square through the dif
ferent streets which^ lead out of it.
* Cobbeti' endeavored repeatedly to
obtain a .hearing, but so loud was
the storm, tnd so great the confu-.
sjon that prevailed among the multi
tude that noney but the favored few :
around the carriage, could catch,
with accuracy, the purport of his,
observations, They were directed^
we believe, to two points^? tlie state
ment of his motives for bringing the
Iwmes of Paines from America ; and
the. necessity of arefbrm in the Com
mons House of Parliament, and a
detail of the j>lan of reform* After
the coach had irmaineVl about a quar-;
ter of an hefuv on the ground where
it first drew up, it was removed to
another part of the square, and the
orator .proceeded with his speech
with, less interruption than before,
iff the conclusion, he informed the
multitude, that it was his intention
to offer hi;i'self|ps member, for th*
city of Chichester, where thcrfc was
now ? vacancy, in consequence ?f
the Earl of March having been catt
ed to tli? Htwse of Peters^ mid that
he had already sent off hip address
to the elector of that place. Cta- ,
fortnnatejy for .jV*t. Cobbett, says
the London Courier, Lord George
Lenox, is already gazetted as re
turned for that tlqroegb. lie then
took leave of ihe multitude) and
the coach drove from -the square.
When it had ivaclfed the "top of
Hanover street) the horses were taken
off and Cobbett was drawn to his
lodgings by the jmpulacev
Ih the evening, tfie dinner given to
fobbfeit, in honor of his arrival in
England, took place at the Castle
Ion, Lord street. Thcfltompany who
feat down to it did not exceed sixty.
It was a truly Kadical Meeting.?
Nothing buttlie radical beverage,. wa
ter, was on the table during dinner,
of which the company took copious
libation?. Many however did not
relish such insipid beverage, and
suffered the force of habit, or the
< Tavfttgs of appetite, to predominate
over a sense of public duty in ab
staining from every taxable commo
<tity. Many therefore indulged
themselves in wine* andfspirituous .
liquors; but still more,^ and Mr. i
CoW>ett among them, remained true'
to the radical resolution, and mag*
nanimously abstained from drinking
any thing but (Hire water. After the
cloth had been reiboved, the chair*
man proceeded with the toasts. A
morg them were the following t
The memory oL our famous
countryman, Thomas Paine, the
4 noble of nature,' the child of the
i lower orders,' illustrious from his
unrivalled talents, and still more
illustrious from the employment of
those talents in the cause of the op
pressed of all nations."
The chairman then proposed the
health of^Cohbeti, which was drunk
with thunders of applause.
Mr. Cobbett addressed the con
J pany in a long speech. TTe first
I noticed the slanders which had been
T heaped upon him during bis^bsettce
Jrora England^ and which he said, j
I were not only false, hut atrocious
I and nn manly ; but he had to thank
J the i;ood sense of ttie country for
J having rendered them of no effect.
| He then proceeded to the subject of
I parliamentary reform. Upon the
I present corrupt state of tjie repre
J tentative system, aud the necessity,
I nature, and extent of reform, he de
I scanted at some length.. We did
I not perceive that he advanced any4
I thing new upon this hackneyed topic.
I He then adverted to the subject of
I the bones of Thomas Paine, and
J eutered into a long justification of I
his motive in disinterring and Uing. I
ing them to England. He then pro- I
I ceeded to defend himself from tho. 1
I charge of inconsistency which had 1
I been brought against bitn, in having J
I once abused the very man whose I
I bones he bow intended to honor. |
I This he did by urging the plea of*
I immaturity qf judgment and want I
I qf experience at thp time he attack- I
I ed Paine, and because Paiiie was I
then supporting the enemies of his I
I country, ^ Conscious tha^t he had |
I done Paine an injustice in his early I
I days, he was willing on his return I
I to America, to listen to a suggestion I
I of Mr. Jfonbow'fi to. bring his bonies I
I j His remains had been I
I dishonored in America, though he I
j was the founder of her independence, I
l lot .te w as the first man to propose I
I the declaration against England, and j
I the proposal was opposed by the ce- 1
f lebratedipr. Franklin. W ith re- |
I *pect to his object in bringing these I
I bones to England, it was to have I
I them exhibited in London to as many I
I persons as might choose to come to I
I see them* He intended to do every I
I thing he conld to raise a sufficient I
I sum, in order that a colossal statue I
I .Paine's memory, I
I ana, if he lived, he hoped to execute I
I his purpose. y I
At 11 o'clock in the evening, af- I
I ter having sufficient] y regaled them- I
I selves upon the untaxable liquors of I
the country, the company retired per- 1
I fectly sober .
I It ipay perhaps be proper to copy I
here what Cobbett said 6f Paine a |
I ?nv y? I a 6?> when he wrote'his I
I life. He concludes thus r
" How Tom gets a living now* or I
I what brothel Jie inhabits, 1 know I
I not, nor does it mudOTfehify. He I
I him done all the mischief be cat* in I
l ."e world; and whether his caivase |

<>r wherever he breathes tils last, j* I
will excite neither sorrow nor com- I
I passion : no friendly hand will dlose I
his eyes, nor a groan Will be uttered, I
I tio< a tear be shed. LiktfSutfAs, he I
will be remembered by posterity $
